Few-mode fiber Bragg grating （FM-FBG） has wide applications in the field of multi-wavelength fiber lasers and fiber-optic sensing. In this letter, FBG is successfully written in a novel type of FM fiber （FMF） based on 248-nm excimer laser and a uniform phase mask. A low-loss coupling between the FMF to a single- mode fiber is realized by a graded-index multi-mode fiber with a length of about a quarter pitch. The sensing properties of the FMF grating are further investigated. The experimental results indicate that the novel FM-FBG has sensitivities of temperature, strain, and bending of 11.2 pm/~C, 1.3 pm/pg, and 636.9 pm/m-1, respectively.
